Walkathon on World Mental Health Day: “Zero Net Hour – Being Mindful”

Published

on

World Mental Health Day, observed globally on October 10, was established to raise awareness about mental health issues and to mobilise collective efforts in support of mental well-being. The day serves as a powerful reminder to challenge stigma, promote resilience, and unite people across the world in advancing mental health for all.

In alignment with this vision, Ojass Takhte Trust has launched the project “Mindfulness: The Real Me vs. The Screen Me – Understanding Our Digital Selves”, designed for children, youth, and communities.

In India today, millions of children and young people are facing the consequences of excessive screen and social media use. Studies show that children under five spend an average of 2.2 hours daily on screens—double the recommended safe limit—while even infants under two years are exposed for over an hour daily, despite guidelines advising zero screen time. Among older children and adolescents, screen dependence is even more pronounced, with many spending up to seven hours a day on social media, gaming, and smartphones.

This overexposure has serious implications—physically, it contributes to obesity, eye strain, and sleep disruption; psychologically, it delays cognitive and language development in younger children and increases risks of anxiety, depression, attention problems, and digital addiction among youth. The urgent need is for parents, educators, and policymakers to establish balanced screen-time practices, encourage outdoor and offline engagement, and create environments that nurture holistic well-being in the digital age.

To mark World Mental Health Day, Ojass Takhte Trust organized a Walkathon in Palam Vihar, Gurugram, to spread awareness on the theme “Zero Net Hour – Being Mindful.”

The event was flagged off by Shri Pardeep Kumar (Padam), Councillor, Ward 4, Gurugram, and witnessed enthusiastic participation from youth volunteers of The NorthCap University, representing Gen Z—the responsible citizens and changemakers of tomorrow.

Carrying banners and posters with powerful messages, the volunteers walked to inspire people to disconnect from screens and reconnect with the real world, promoting mindfulness, balance, and better mental health.
